Re: What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

Bruichladdich The Laddie Twenty Two Unpeated Islay and Binny's Cask Highland Park 25 from 1981. The Laddie could easily go another 22 years...has refined hints of honey, citrus and brine combined with finesse to create a subtle, elegant and very long lasting whisky. There was some criticsm of the HP when it was released in 2007 but a powerhouse that tastes great now. Thank you Mr. Maloney.

Cutty Sark is a good blend, it's a good expression of the lighter side of Scotch whisky. Check out Dewar's and Ballantine, too, solid stuff. All these drinks make by the way an excellent Scotch Mist - for some reason it never tastes right to me with a single malt.

Re: What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

Had a friend who liked Balentines 12 and we shared a good bit of it at his house. One Summer we went through the 12s (Balentines, Cutty, Dewars, Buchanan,Teachers and a few others I don't recall) as a part of the weekly tastings I hosted. That experience was part of what led me away from Single Malts.

I still prefer Single Malts, but I have nothing against a good blend. I like blends when I'm just in the mood to sit down in front of the TV and have a Scotch.
